Hmmmm. I don't recall doing this, but a simple symbolic link would fix
this.... Lets see:
# ls /usr/src/
linux@  linux-2.6.17-5mdv/  rpm/  RPM@
# cat /etc/mandriva-release
Mandriva Linux release 2007.0 (Official) for i586
# rpm -qf /usr/src/RPM
filen /usr/src/RPM tillhör inget paket
# rpm -qf /usr/src/rpm
rpm-build-4.4.6-10.1mdv2007.0
#

... so either "something" or "someone" (like... me:-) has created that
link (ln -s ....).


Fixing up the script to handle both case should be trivial though, so
... why not:-).
